They're used for character set encoding conversions, eg when

Thanks, Tom and Craig; that makes perfect sense.  I'd rather not assume anything about the client encoding, but I do know that the server encoding will always be UTF8.  Am I correct, then, in thinking that I only need the conversion procs whose names start with utf8_and...?
